Frankie's Man Johnny Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Well [D]now [G]Frankie and Johnny
were sweethearts
They were true as a blue blue sky
[C]He was a long- legged guitar picker
With a wicked wanderin' [G]eye
But [D]he was her man
Nearly all of the time
[G]

[Verse 2]
Well Johnny he packed up to leave her
But he promised he'd be back
[C]He said he had a little pickin'
To do a little farther down the [G]track
He said [D]I'm your man
I wouldn't do you wrong
[G]

[Verse 3]
Well Frankie curled up on the sofa
Thinkin' about her man
[C]Far away the couples were dancing
To the music of his [G]band
He was Frankie's [D]man
He wouldn't doin' her wrong
[G]

[Verse 4]
Then in the front door
walked a redhead
Johnny saw her right away
She [C]came down by the bandstand
To watch him while he [G]played
He was [D]Frankie's man
But she was far away
[G]

[Verse 5]
He sang every song to the redhead
She smiled back at him
Then [C]he came and sat at her table
Oh where the lights were low and [G]dim
What Frankie didn't [D]know
Wouldn't hurt her none
[G]

[Verse 6]
Then the redhead jumped
up and slapped him
She slapped him a time or two
She [C]said I'm Frankie's sister
And I was checking up on [G]you
If [D]you're her man
You better treat her right
[G]

[Verse 7]
Well the moral of this story
Is be good but carry a stick
[C]Sometimes it looks like a guitar picker
Just can't tell what to [G]pick
He [D]was Frankie's man
And he still ain't done her wrong
[G]
